...but i'll settle for giving it a 5 seeing that's as high as they'll let me..
This is the best, the very best, album that you could ever hope for. Jason Mraz fans are not complete without this album. It could so easily convert a John Mayer fan into one of me, Jason's. That has a nice ring to it. I definitely do not mind being a Mrs. Mraz. In fact, i dream of it every night before his voice lulls me to sleep.. Don't get me wrong, please. He is NOT dull and is not prone to getting yawns in turn of the songs he belt out. He could really wake you right up. It depends on the songs, and this album has a song for every occassion, every mood.
Here's the thing about Jason's vocals: it is so smooth, oh-so-like butter, it melts into you, and it stays. His vocal range is astoundingly large and it will take u to the highest place in heaven and swoop you down gently in a matter of seconds.
His live performances are not even flawed with any mistakes be it in his vocals or the music; it's energetic, it's cheeky, it's witty, it's beautiful, it's perfect. His words are not always so serious; he's a really funny joker that can get you giggling into the night and out, and that really shows in this album, yet in between the lines there's a depth that you could delve into.
Everything is so precise, natural, breath-taking. The best part is that it does not sound manufactured at all. It makes you feel like he is in the flesh, next to you, with a guitar in hand; you are the only one he is singing to and the only one he's ever sung to.
You all know that most singers sound amazing on their studio productions.. What defines them as a real singer, a true performer, is their ability to rock it out live, too. Jason Mraz's live performances does not live up to the studio productions: they surpass them by miles. His music is not meant to be meddled with and have its originality and creativity stripped away in the process of recording and altering; so i am so glad this album came out to do him justice.
For those of you who have long felt a longing ache for more of Jason after Waiting For My Rocket To Come, this is your Remedy. This album is the very best of him in a disc. You know what they say about boys with big vocal cords.. yes, and a big voice too. Listening to Jason Mraz is like having sex.
Nay, better.

I really hate to say it but this is the best Mraz album to-date. His brilliant voice and the vibrant acoustic guitar unadulterated by electronics makes this without a doubt better than all of his subsequent work. Jason Mraz is fantastic.
I found this CD after Waiting For My Rocket To Come, and became even more impressed with Jason Mraz. This CD is at the top of my list for "What 5 CD's would you want if you were stranded on a deserted island". If you haven't heard it, get it. I strongly recommend this one.
Jason Mraz is, without a doubt, the best singer out there. This CD is absolutely amazing. I can't say anything else except BUY IT! You won't regret it. Seriously, I don't care who you are, you will love this CD.
First things first: this CD is amazing. The songs on it are soulful and make you not only sing along but your heart too. Second thing: buy it now! The CD is no longer being sold on Jason's site so this is probably your last chance to get it. When I saw his show a few days ago I think they were selling the last ones they have. If you pass this CD by, you will truly regret it.
